Parang wala naman akong nababalitaan sa mga kaibigan kong naka RS na may ganyang problem.

Older Subaru turbo petrol cars had minor issues dealing with oil burn. Most owners just top up the oil regularly.

Just enjoy your Civic RS. Make that engine scream, redline the tachometer once in a while. It’s a bit lame if you have a horse and you ride it like a cow. Hehehe

first time ko kasi magkaron ng almost new car... so ayun..

thanks for sharing! nag-worry ako kasi may point of comparison ako since baseline ko yung 1999 civic. smells like engine oil but a bit of fuel din pero yun nga.. sa 1.5 Turbo mas amoy talaga hihi.

if ever.. mas pipiliin ko yung magbawas dahil sa pagburn ng oil instead na tumaas dahil sa fuel mixture. lol

May Civic RS din family ko but mostly brother-in-law ko gumagamit. In almost 5 years, no issue naman but I will check if it also behaves the same. Yung FXT at Fiesta Ecoboost, ganun eh.

Yes tropical country tayo, but did any of you have experience this by smelling a strong scent ng gasoline sa oil dipstick? Tapos parang tumataas yung oil level sa dipstick over time kasi nga unti2x naghahalo yung gas. If yes, did you have any issues sa car?

Would love to know any inputs..

I am a bit worried since I just bought a low mileage(3,500 km) Civic 1.5 turbo. Inamoy ko yung dipstick and ayun, amoy na amoy yung gasoline. I'm sure as hell hindi ganun kalakas yung amoy ng gas sa aking 1999 civic.. hehe

just don't do extended oil change intervals.

how much selling ng civic sa market? kelangan na pala benta civic. meron na pala new gen

I've seen some people selling their 2016 to 2017 Civic RS for around 1M to 1.1M in facebook marketplace. Crazy how the Civic retains its resale value here. In comparison, I saw a red WRX 2018 CVT being sold for 1.1M. Insanity. I guess the Civic is still regarded by most as the ultimate compact car in the PH.

Ask if they're checking and smelling the oil regularly.

Sa Focus Ecoboost namin ganun din. After maybe around 4 to 6 months, I can smell a bit of gasoline from the oil. The oil level however did not increase. That's why I don't do extended oil change... to be safe. 😂

Might be a common turbo GDI thing.

No one might be noticing nor alarmed as most would check to see if topping up is needed. Conventional thinking on oil level checks shouldn't apply to vehicles known for oil dilution. They should be observed for rising levels, not oil consumption.

Since 2018, I am doing oil change on a 12-month cycle with my XT. Never naman ako nagka problem. I did the same on the Fiesta 2 years after I bought it.

Which reminds me, I am due for an oil change within the next month or so. May naka ready na ako na oil at filters, schedule ko na lang visit sa suki kong auto shop.

Parang lugi ka to buy a used Civic RS for 1M. A used WRX would be better for the same price. You get almost 100hp more power and 60% more torque with the WRX plus AWD grip. Kung pamilyado ka, the Forester XT will provide you the same acceleration and speed of a Civic RS plus you get to carry more stuff in the trunk - at a much lesser price. Nasa 700k to 800k lang ata used 2015-2016 XT nowadays.

i am wondering,
what is the age bracket of the owners/sellers and the buyers?
